Communications on live topics especially
of local interest are solicited But the editor
reserves the right to condense them to suit
Brief items of neighborhood news always
desired
It must be clearly understood that neither
THE STAB nor its editor b responsible for
opinions expressed by correspondents
THIS government would just as
soon let their marines do the Box
ers up but for one reason That
is because we dont care to take
possession of the Chinese empire
with 400000000 people and thus
declare a four million per cent
dividend on the Philippine mis
take
THERE will be a few gold Demo
crats who will neither support
McKinley nor Bryan These will
be compelled to go to Porto Rico
for the conditions that will suit
their fastidious fancies There the
Americans have nothing to do at
all and are not under the necessi
ty of taking an interest in affairs
of the island
CIKCULAIIS are being sent from
the political headquarters of the
parties offering to edit papers free
until after the campaign This
would appear to be a good time for
the editors to be fraternal and go
away on nonpartisan picnic ex
cursions and summer tours while
the great heads in the east expound
the issues to their readers but we
notice that very few of them are
doing it
ATTENTION is called by an ex
change to the fact that the South
ern Express company applied two
years ago in the federal court of
the southern district of Georgia
for an injunction preventing the
railroad commission of Georgia
from enforcing its order compel
ling the express company to attix
the stamp on its receipts This
injunction was granted by Judge
Emory Speer The circuit court
of appeals sitting at New Orleans
has reversed the Georgia court
thus sustaining the right of the
railroad commission to make and
enforce its order Here is a hint
for the Florida railroad commis
sion
Falling Prices
It is not generally believed that
this country is approaching a
period of business depression just
because there has been a fall in
the prices of iron steel lum
ber and some other commodities
The manufacturers of these pro
ducts have realied for some time
that they were getting exorbitant
prices and that production would
overtake consumption sooner or
later Consumers cannot continue
to pay boom prices thenfore pro
ducer have been gradually lower
ing their prices with the hope ol
finding a place where consumption
would keep pace again with pro
duction All along the line the
feeling seems to prevail that after
a little time prices will settle on a
normal basis and that thru a
long period of prosperity will fol
low
As a rule business is lull during
the year of a presidential election
It may be that the contft this year
is already having a bad ellect on
business It is not believed how
ever that the fall that ha > taken
place in prices within tin last two
mouths lots been brought about by
the approaching presidential con
test It is prolmblr that the lie
publicans would like to have the
country believe that the reviving
of the silver issue is responsible for
the falling nfl in the volume of
business and the fall in prices but
the people know that such is not
the fact The change that has
taken place in the business situa
tion has not been brought about by
politics but by natural causes
Just as soon as consumers are fully
satisfied that prices are as low as
they are likely to go their demand
for supplies will be increased again
Too Many of Them
The following suggestion taken
from Learning By Doing is quite
as appropriate in many instances
to parents as to teachers
There are teachers who need to
be admonished that there is a
wide difference between entertain
ing children and teaching them
Except perhaps as a temporary
recreation or diversion no school
room exercise is worth anything
unless it involves work Many
teachers in the misapplied and
mischievous willingness of a kind
ly disposition help the child in
to mental atrophy In every
lesson by suggestive word and
question and all too ready ex
planation and illustration the
teacher deprives the child of all
mental initiative and accustoms
him to having all his thoughts
readymade and to being carried
over all uifiiculties on a leather
pillow This is no kindness it is
grave wrong which is none the
less a wrong because the child isled
b
led to look upon it as a kindness
The time will come when he will
know better and when he will not
remember with approval the good
teacher who was only a mental
wet nurse The really kind teach
er is he or she who steadily stimu
lates the childs activities and
early leads him to acquire a taste
for the pleasure that accompanies
keen and effective brainwork
Misdescribed Freight
Occasionally a case gets into the
courts and thus before the public
alleging a misdescription by the
shipper of goods shipped in order
to secure a lower freight rate But
such cases that come to public at
ten tioif are rare On the other hand
it is quite common to hear of com
plaints against the railroads and
there is seldom a session of any
state legislature or of congress in
which there is not one or more bills
introduced to correct or prevent
the alleged misdeeds of the rail
road At the present time there
is being urged upon congress the
necessity of modifying the inter
state commerce law in such man
ner as to give the interstate com
merce commission more power over
the railroads
Meantime while few cases of at
tempts on the part of shippers to
secure lower rates by falsely describ
ing the goods shipped come to pub
lic notice the numberofshipments
under false pretenses is very large
every year The Railway Age says
that during the year 18ii the in
spectors of the trunk lines doing
business from New York Hoston
and Philadelphia to the west dis
covered 2 HO instances in which
shippers misdescribed goods actual
ly shipped so as to glt lower rates
on them This was only in the
westbound business for the three
cities named As many as 1000
similar instances fraudulent bill
ing were found among shipments
from the western termini of tin
same roads It is quite apparent
that the railroads are not all alone
in alleged wickedness in connec
tion with freights tl rates Many
shippers are as willing and eager to
hoodwink and defraud the roads as
the roads are to take advantage of
every loophole in the law to in
crease their incomes
Politics In Brevard and Dade
We publish this week a letter
from 1IIJ P
r Cooper of Cocoa
an esteemed friend of ours and
last week we published a commun
ication from Mr IL F Hardest J
Seba > tian These letters C51 d
Iy the lastnamed have a menac
ing and intolerant tone
l t u s analye the questions
raised by them in the
y III 111 light of rea
son and s t e if the situation war
rant the contention they have
made First take tin matter ol
representation This in the very
nature of things is arbitrary The
county committee is the Mghet
source of authority in party or
ganization in the county In the
same relation tands the state ex
ecutive committee to party organ
ization in the state Years ago
when state supremacy was the
hope of contention the state com
mittee to encourage the inclusion
of northern immigrants in the state
Democratic party fixed the basis
of representation on the vote for
state officers This appeal to local
pride having won over many new
comers it soon became apparent
that there was a shortage in the
congressional vote as compared to
the state vote in many of the
southern counties and a number
of these counties with one accord
adopted the plan of basing the
precinct representation on the con
gressional vote This action like
that of the state committee had
the desired effect and the congres
sional vote was thus pulled up on
a line with the state vote The
only foundation for these actions
of the various committees was
their inherent power and discre
tion to act for the general good of
the party and the resultant good
has amply justified them and
when at last it became apparent
that the profusion of local ambi
tion and bitterness of neighbor
hood pride was pulling down the
county organization the same old
discretion was appealed to and the
same old power was wisely and
beneficently exercised and the
county organization was so en
abled two years ago to fight tri
umphantly against the strongest
enemy it has ever had to oppose
Again the end justified the action
If the policy be persisted in and
extended if need be if Democrats
he reasonable and fraternal just
in their dealings with each other
who shall call a halt to their as
cendancy
Second as to the discrepancy be
tween the representation allowed
to the respective counties of this
district We are informed that
when the senatorial committee met
it was confronted with the fact that
several new precincts had been made
in Dade county The committee fol
lowed the example set in such cases
in both counties and gave each new
precinct a single yote until the
next apportionment When a new
county is made this policy is pur
sued by law in the same way
Where is the sign of wrong in this
What other course could he pur
sued
Third as to the bargain that Bre
vard should have the senator this
time we know nothing of it There
was nothing in the published pro
ceedings of the convention t
it and the Dade county press knew
nothing of it or said nothing of it
at the time Who made it and how
was it authenticated According
even to the standard of our corres
pondents if a bargain was made it
is void against the peopho and Tin
STAK agrees with them No entan
gling com pacts between individuals
should stand against the right of
the people to continue a good ser
vant in ollice
Fourth as to the justice of beat
ing Dade on the principle of alter
nation lirevard has had Messrs
Sliarpe Williams llardceand Mor
row in unbroken succession while
Dade lias had one term for Dimick
and it seems by our correspondents
was onlv allowed this much bv a
trade under wliieh the position
should immediatelv revert to lire
vard This mav lie just but we
cannot see it in that light We do
not believe that anybtnly wants to
betray Urevard neither do we be
lieve in a morbid or inequitable
standard of county pride Senator
Dimick has been an able fair and
conservative man irtir to the peo
ple and deserving the e11elul > meut
